Ian Maatsen News: Alternating at left-back

Published on October 9, 2025

Maatsen has made three starts between the Premier League and the Champions League so far this season.

Maatsen recorded 10 EPL starts last season but has made just one so far in the current campaign. Even though he's seeing decent playing time in the UEFA Europa League, it seems Digne will remain as the starter on the left side of the defense at the EPL level, limiting Maatsen's fantasy upside considerably.
